Launching
the wherry Hathor
|
The pleasure wherry Hathor has been sailing the Norfolk Broads rivers for over 100 years. It has a connection to Ludham because it was commissioned by the Colman Family (Miss Helen and Miss Ethel) and launched by Joan Boardman from How Hill. You can find a brief history of how this came about on this link. Hathor was built at Reedham and launched in 1905 by Joan Boardman. Joan was born in January 1902 so she was 3 and a half years old at the time. She released doves at the launching ceremony. The Boardman family albums contain 8 photographs of the launch. Here are the photographs. Right - Helen and Ethel
